Incarcerated

After the arrest at Londonderry of Eamonn de Valera, President of the
Irish "Republic" (TIME, Nov. 3) the police removed him under
strong guard to Belfast, where he was tried and condemned to one
month's imprisonment, although the maximum term of incarceration
prescribed is two years.

Mr. de Valera declined to recognize the court,
referred to it as "the creature of a foreign Power"—the
foreign Power being England. This made no difference, however, and to
jail he went.
